| 7:37pm | Aoi Hana Episode 1 | | | | Apparently Utena director Kunihiko Ikuhara did the OP sequence for this show. I’d never have guessed. The first episode of Aoi Hana was the first show of the new season to hit Crunchyroll, and due to the limited effort in watching it that results from that, I figured I’d at least give... | | |
| 3:46am | Not dwelling in the land of Nod | | | | The “sweet smell of vindication” indeed; I didn’t pick up Eden of the East either. I don’t always like what Evirus positively enjoys but I usually almost always react badly to things that stick up his craw. And thus: It’s also somewhat shallow to say, but I find the character... | | |
| 3:56pm | First Hop for Hatsukoi Limited | | | | Funnily enough, the show taking up most of my attention this season is Hatsukoi Limited. I anticipated this anime for some time (about a yearI guess) so I know if it works out, I would be all over it. Still, I did not expected it to be so consuming! I guess I’m just a big o sap. Otaku flavored... | | |
| 7:56pm | Eden of the East - 01 |  | | | OP: “Falling Down” by Oasis – Wow. Just wow. I absolutely love the OP. Contemporary rock track paired with modern graphic design influenced animation makes this easy on the ears and eyes. Summary: On her visit to Washington DC, Morimi Saki gets into trouble with local authorities... | | |
| 8:25pm | Spring Preview 2009 | | | | Note this is actually Choux’s post, but WP was being douchey and wouldn’t let her save her version. Why isn’t this coming out this seasonWhy? Yes! This is late! I know. Hoshi is not here seeing as she has a grevious injury, so there’ll only be Sakura and my opinions here. (Page... | | |
| 4:37am | What we think about spring 2009 | | | | Why isn’t this coming out this seasonWhy? Yes! This is late! I know.Hoshi is not here seeing as she has a grievous injury, so there’ll only be Sakura and my opinions here. (Page is getting updated as the shows start airing.) Choux. Sakura.This is bassment. Even though I haven’t... | | |
| 2:27am | Review: Toradora! (85%) |  | | | Animation: 85% Acting: 90% Music/Sound: 80% Story: 88% Overall: 85% See explanation of scores. Toradora is the standard-setter anime about high school shounen romance. It does for high school love what Kare Kano does for adolescence in general and Honey and Clover did for post-adolescence–and... | | |
| 7:30am | Spring 2009 Anime Preview and Watchlist | | | | Just within the last few days, winter’s frigid fingers have finally loosened their grip around where I live. We had been experiencing high temperatures well below freezing and that’s not conducive to getting in the spring mindset. Yesterday we got into the 50’s and today our high was 65˚F (18˚C);... | | |
| 9:47am | Toradora 19-20: Sacrifice | | | | Some time ago I said that what makes this show is friendship, not romance per se; and friends sacrifice for each other. That could be the watchword for these two pivotal episodes, but is there a sense in which it goes too far? (This article was inspired by Seleria’s calling everyone in the show... | | |
| 12:14am | Honey and Clover Vol. 2 - Manga Review | | | | I got the second volume of Honey and Clover (along with some Love*Com) at the library a few weeks ago and I finally read the H&C. So here’s a quick review (mostly to remind me of what happened once I decide to read volume 3). This volume was mostly a character-building one. We learn about... | | |
| 12:29am | Impressions: NANA, Honey and Clover, Tytania and a lot of other ones | | | | So I haven't been around, but I've still been watching a bunch of stuff. I don't know if I'll hit it all here, but I'm going to try to get the highlights. NANA: So I started watching this show because of Paradise Kiss. I still think ParaKiss is an amazing show, despite leaving the side characters in... | | |
| 3:36am | Honey and Clover Piano Videos / Downloads / Sheet Music | | | | As many people know, several of the wonderful piano pieces which were scattered throughout Honey and Clover were never released on the original soundtrack. This includes the single most significant musical manifestation of all that is Honey and Clover - the Waltz piano version. But it also includes... | | |
| 2:54pm | The 2nd anniversary of Iwa ni Hana, and a wishlist for 2009 | | | | Ladies and gentlemen - Iwa ni Hana enters the second anniversary this month! The past two years have been fruitful. Not that I have been able to sustain interest in anime/manga continuously throughout my life - there have been lapses for years at a stretch. Two years ago, I was brought back into the... | | |
